Shopping for Subwoofers - Why You Should Stop Buying Subs Based on Peak SPL

Loud; Why continuous power is more important than peak power with subwoofers; Why you want a flat frequency response; How to fill the space with bass; and How to plan for your use-case scenario and avoid companies selling “magic specs.”

I must say, here is the beauty of why I love this guy and his products, you notice everything he is saying is raw on the spot, no card reading. Real deal info

[@benji191275]

This is great, David. It all makes sense, showing that you really know your stuff!!!🙂

[@MostHighJumpBounceHouseRentals]

True subwoofer wisdom

[@sonicsound84]

This is also why I cant stand flyers for shows that advertise the amount of watts of the system in use. Sometimes you think they were counting all the lightbulbs in the venue too!

[@Tazmanian_Ninja]

Absolutely amazing presentation and information, David. Thank you!

I love BASSBOSS rigs. They are very impressive for DJ speakers

He’s really got it.

[@stanleyishmaelbrown8704]

Great insight. I'm a bass freak but in my opinion a PA set up doesn't really need anything below 40Hz because its the punch that gets the audience hyped up and nobody really notices that your subs are playing below 40Hz. Plus playing lower saps lots of power from your amp and stresses the drivers. I'll take a loud thump over playing low in a PA setup any day.

[@gaffle-411]

So you’d prefer the sound of the one-note, 70Hz wonder from a Yorkville ES18P over the balanced, low-hitting, yet powerful BassBoss SSP118 MKII?

[@stanleyishmaelbrown8704]

@@gaffle-411 Not what I am saying. If I had a choice I will always pick the sub with balanced sound and hits all the notes and I want to hear everything down to the lowest frequency possible. However, I noticed that for most people a good thump is just fine especially when you have a hyped up crowd and you really want to crank things up.

So true ill say 90% of people go for max watts, they all belive that more watts the louder they will sound or the bigger the louder they will sound. how about efficiency?
